Sorry I always seem to be asking questions. I do some research on the net but I get so many conflicting reports that just confuse me more. So once again I am asking the people who live it daily.
I'm on one Atorvastatin 40mg a day for cholesterol. My diet is 20g of carbs a day or less. I am sick of chicken and fish at the moment, so I am having one meal of red meat of an evening. Should I cut off the fat or not?
For lunch I usually have a salad with carbs measuring from 5 to 6.6g. The meat for dinner pretty much has zero carbs, so to bring my carbs up to around 20g I eat nuts.
For a snack during the day I will have a slice of cheese. I'm not eating cream or yoghurt or any other type of dairy.
Do you think my cholesterol will go up a lot by eating fats from meat and some cheese?
Thanks!
Kerry
